PURPOSE: to temporarily extend the Commission's authorisation to adopt discard plans in order to facilitate the implementation of the landing obligation introduced by the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP).

LEGISLATIVE ACT: Regulation (EU) 2017/2092 of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on the common fisheries policy.

CONTENT: Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 provides that, in the absence of multiannual plans or management plans, the Commission may adopt discard plans on a temporary basis and for a period of no more than three years. Experience has demonstrated that the preparation and adoption of multiannual plans or management plans that include discard plans takes longer than was envisaged at the time of the adoption of the CFP.

Accordingly, this Regulation amends Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 in order to temporarily extend the Commission's power to adopt discard plans by means of delegated acts for a further period of three years in the absence of multiannual plans or management plans.

ENTRY INTO FORCE: 20.11.2017.

The Committee on Fisheries adopted the report by Alain CADEC (EPP, FR) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy.

The committee recommended the European Parliament to adopt its position at first reading in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, taking over the Commission proposal .

As a reminder, the proposal seeks to empower the Commission to adopt discard plans for a further maximum period of three years in order to facilitate the implementation of the landing obligation introduced by the Common Fisheries Policy pending the adoption of regional multiannual management plans.

Experience has demonstrated that the preparation and adoption of multiannual or management plans that include discard plans takes longer than was envisaged at the time of the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 .

The first Commission delegated regulations establishing discard plans entered into force on the 1 January 2015 and shall expire at the end of 2017 .

To date, only the Baltic multiannual plan is in place, whereas two Commission proposals for a multiannual plan for demersals in the North Sea and for small pelagics in the Adriatic are currently under negotiation between the co-legislators.

PURPOSE: to amend Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the common fisheries policy (CFP) with a view to temporarily extending the Commission's empowerment to adopt discard plans.

PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.

ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.

BACKGROUND: in principle, the details of the implementation of the landing obligation are to be defined in regional multi-annual management plans adopted through codecision.

Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 provides that, in the absence of multiannual plans or management plans, the Commission may adopt discard plans on a temporary basis and for a period of no more than three years.

Experience has demonstrated that the preparation and adoption of multiannual or management plans that include discard plans takes longer than was envisaged at the time of the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013.

The first Commission delegated regulations establishing discard plans entered into force on the 1 January 2015 and are expiring at the end of 2017. To date, only the Baltic multiannual plan is in place, whereas two Commission proposals for a multiannual plan for demersals in the North Sea and for small pelagics in the Adriatic are currently under negotiation between the co-legislators.

It is therefore appropriate to set the period for which the Commission may adopt discard plans in the absence of multiannual or management plans.

CONTENT: the proposal contains only one substantive provision, which amends Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 in order to temporarily extend the Commission's power to adopt discard plans by means of delegated acts for an additional period of three years , provided that there are no multi-annual plans in place for the sea basins concerned.

PURPOSE: to temporarily extend the Commission's authorisation to adopt discard plans in order to facilitate the implementation of the landing obligation introduced by the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP).

LEGISLATIVE ACT: Regulation (EU) 2017/2092 of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on the common fisheries policy.

CONTENT: Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 provides that, in the absence of multiannual plans or management plans, the Commission may adopt discard plans on a temporary basis and for a period of no more than three years. Experience has demonstrated that the preparation and adoption of multiannual plans or management plans that include discard plans takes longer than was envisaged at the time of the adoption of the CFP.

Accordingly, this Regulation amends Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 in order to temporarily extend the Commission's power to adopt discard plans by means of delegated acts for a further period of three years in the absence of multiannual plans or management plans.

ENTRY INTO FORCE: 20.11.2017.

  • The European Parliament adopted by 599 votes to 57, with 2 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy.

    The European Parliament adopted its position at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure without making any amendments to the Commission proposal.

    As a reminder, the proposal seeks to empower the Commission to adopt discard plans for a further maximum period of three years in order to facilitate the implementation of the landing obligation introduced by the Common Fisheries Policy pending the adoption of regional multiannual management plans.

  • PURPOSE: to amend Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the common fisheries policy (CFP) with a view to temporarily extending the Commission's empowerment to adopt discard plans.

    PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.

    ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.

    BACKGROUND: in principle, the details of the implementation of the landing obligation are to be defined in regional multi-annual management plans adopted through codecision.

    Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 provides that, in the absence of multiannual plans or management plans, the Commission may adopt discard plans on a temporary basis and for a period of no more than three years. 

    Experience has demonstrated that the preparation and adoption of multiannual or management plans that include discard plans takes longer than was envisaged at the time of the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013.

    The first Commission delegated regulations establishing discard plans entered into force on the 1 January 2015 and are expiring at the end of 2017. To date, only the Baltic multiannual plan is in place, whereas two Commission proposals for a multiannual plan for demersals in the North Sea and for small pelagics in the Adriatic are currently under negotiation between the co-legislators.

    It is therefore appropriate to set the period for which the Commission may adopt discard plans in the absence of multiannual or management plans.

    CONTENT: the proposal contains only one substantive provision, which amends Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 in order to temporarily extend the Commission's power to adopt discard plans by means of delegated acts for an additional period of three years, provided that there are no multi-annual plans in place for the sea basins concerned.
